“It’s a good sign for the economy, but if you recall, the bull market is about 9 years old. For about five, six years of that bull market, they were buying bad news because the markets loved accommodation,” Redler advised CNBC’s “Futures Now” on Tuesday.

“We don’t have much of that anymore, so now it’s time for the market to stand on its own two feet,” he added. “At this point, they’re actually selling the good news, which you don’t want to see.”

Since the monetary disaster, inventory markets have usually acted negatively to any trace of tightening financial coverage from the Federal Reserve. The present bull market started in March 2009, lower than six months after the central financial institution reduce rates of interest to close to zero.

Expectations of a extra hawkish Fed have despatched bond yields larger this yr. Markets now have to decide whether or not they’re ready for charges to proceed their upward march, Redler mentioned.

“When we went above 3 percent, the market was trying to figure out if it could handle it, and at this point we’re seeing some bearish behavior,” he mentioned.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond topped 3 percent on Tuesday for the primary time since January 2014.

“If you look here at the 10-year yield you’ll see that we do have a pretty big technical breakout,” mentioned Redler. “We took out 2.6 percent, and then we took out the highs of the year. So when that happens, the market goes through a little bit of market discovery.”

Look to the banks to decide if markets are taking a rise in charges in stride, in accordance to Redler.

“The banks are supposed to do well when rates rise but the banks that started positive went red” on Tuesday, he mentioned. “If this $104 doesn’t hold here, which is the 21-day moving average, that means the banks are not going to help the active bulls, and that could put more pressure on the market.”

The KBW Nasdaq Bank Index fell under its 50-day and 100-day transferring common within the first half of March. It has managed to maintain above its 200-day transferring common of $103.82. It presently sits four percent above that degree.

“When you put this all together, and you go to the S&P cash which is the main proxy for all the indices, you see this wedge formation,” mentioned Redler. “What this means is you have a pattern of indecision after a major move.”

The subsequent vital assist degree for the S&P 500 is 2,580 to 2,600, he added. The S&P 500 presently sits at 1.3 percent to 2 percent above that vary.

If yields break additional above 3 percent and the index breaks under that assist, Redler sees the potential for “more downside action.” The subsequent assist degree is at 2,440.
